I was admitted to the Georgia Bar in 1997, and not long after I was accepted to the bar I focused all of my efforts on representing clients in divorce and other family law related matters. My years of work as an attorney have allowed me to successfully counsel and represent clients in all types of divorce and domestic relations cases, and as a result of that  experience I understand what it takes to obtain the best results for clients. I have also undergone training as a mediator, a guardian ad litem, and in collaborative law, and I regularly utilize all of those skills in the representation of clients.. My years of practice as a divorce lawyer also lead me to join a group of like-minded attorneys focused on practice in the areas of divorce and family law.  I am a partner at the divorce law firm of Meriwether & Tharp, LLC, where our goal is to provide clients with skilled legal representation they need to successfully resolve issues relating to divorce and other difficult family law legal matters.  Every Member of the Meriwether & Tharp team assists clients in the areas of divorce and family law, and as a firm we routinely handle matters related to divorce, child support and child custody, enforcement of existing orders (i.e. contempt actions), preparation of pre- and postnuptial agreements, separation agreements, family violence, juvenile law, adoption, and any and all other family law related matters.    Divorce and other family matters can be very stressful, and we have the skill and experience needed to provide our clients with the settlement-focused representation they require in their time of need.  Emotions can run high in these types of cases, but that does not mean that a divorce must be "nasty."  It is always our goal to avoid unnecessary litigation, and we approach and handle every case with a high level of professionalism that clients have a right to expect from lawyers.  We believe that strong representation does not require unreasonably litigious behavior. Settlement is very often the best, most cost-effective option, but if settlement is not possible you need an attorney and a law firm that is best prepared to stand before a judge and fight for you.  Meriwether & Tharp is that firm.

I have represented clients in utility and design patent infringement, trade dress infringement, and trademark infringement litigations as well as in proceedings before the International Trade Commission.. Prior to working as an IP litigator, I earned a Master’s of Science from the University of Texas for my research in inherited eye diseases. I also worked at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in the pediatric genetics department, where I studied familial cancers.  Although my personal interests focus on the life sciences, I have worked on a wide range of technologies, including video surveillance, cooking devices, hard disk drives, LCDs, networking, paper-making, communications, pasteurization, and vaccination-related technologies.

I have practiced law for almost 20 years although it does not seem that long.  I have chosen my practice areas in indigent criminal defense, education law, and now workers' compensation because all have allowed me to work for an individual.  I enjoy the connection with a live person for whom I can advocate.  I like to get to know the person I respresent.  My clients are more than mere case numbers.  I am more effective if I can empathize with and understand the individuals for whom I argue.. Becoming a lawyer was never the ultimate goal.  It has always been a means to an end. It is a way in which I can use my expertise to help people maneuver their way through an otherwise confusing and complicated legal system in order to invoke rights or request redress.. I spend my spare time with my husband and two energetic sons.  We enjoy travelling the world together and exploring new places, but in many ways, every day is an adventure.  There are very few dull moments in my life, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I am privileged to serve as outside general counsel for businesses that typically do not have an inside legal department.  My favorite clients are entrepreneurs who are passionate about their businesses.  I am pleased to help them grow and maximize the value of those businesses, which are often the owners' primary assets.. The breadth of my business experience before settling on a legal services career has shaped my approach to business advice and client service.  I have been a grocery store manager for The Kroger Company, a State and Local Tax Consultant for both Arthur Andersen and KPMG, and have worked as a business and tax attorney for two large and one small law firm.  I have even worked as a jewelry salesman and a men's suit salesman (at Macy's).  As a result, I have a perspective that is somewhat unique among business attorneys.. I truly enjoy helping new and emerging growth companies realize their true potential.
